Hidden Words 1
‘To depart from one’s own language of origin, to be able to acknowledge that ‘the source moves about’, to fare like a foreigner in this language, and to return to it via its travelling fragments, is to learn how to be silent and to speak again, differently. ‘ ( Trinh T Minha, Travellers’ Tales)
